Another city in Anhui announced: the abolition of mixed nucleic acid testing!

Read Time:4 Minute, 3 Second

In order to thoroughly implement the decision and deployment of the Party Central Committee, the State Council and the work requirements of the Anhui Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government, and to better coordinate the epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, the following is a notice to further optimize the epidemic prevention and control measures.
I. Non-essential nucleic acid testing is not done
The initiative of the party and government organs to take the lead, the general public non-essential not to do nucleic acid testing. From tomorrow (23rd), Huaibei City will cancel the mixed tube nucleic acid test. If you do need to be tested, please be sure to do your personal protection and take the voluntary self-pay, single-person, single-tube test to avoid the inconvenience and trouble of not being able to issue timely and accurate test results and “chasing the sun” when a mixed specimen is positive. If you feel abnormal, you can choose your own antigen test to minimize the risk of infection caused by queuing up and gathering, and then carry out a single nucleic acid test for abnormal antigen testing.
Second, make every effort to provide medical services
In order to facilitate the public’s access to medical care and to maximize the protection of the public’s medical needs, all medical institutions in the city, except for inpatient departments, hemodialysis rooms and other important departments, no longer check the nucleic acid negative certificate. At the same time, mobile fever clinics (carts) are being deployed to further simplify and optimize the consultation process for patients with fever, and sufficient stocks of antipyretic drugs are available to provide the masses with “one-stop” treatment at their doorsteps. “One-stop” medical service. Advocate for patients with mild symptoms to seek medical treatment “near and convenient”, as far as possible, the limited medical resources of large hospitals are used to protect the elderly, young and key people with basic diseases.
Advocating the rational use of medication by the public
In response to the symptoms of the epidemic, the state has released a catalog of 108 Chinese and Western medicines. We advocate that the public should purchase medicines for daily needs in a rational, appropriate amount and on demand. Even if infected with the new coronavirus, only a small amount of medicine is needed to reduce fever and relieve pain, so there is no need to stockpile a large number of related drugs and stockpile them for a long time. We call for mutual transfer and sharing of urgently needed drugs and shortage of drugs among “colleagues, the same building, classmates, the same WeChat group (QQ) group” to meet their own needs and those of their families, while sharing excess drugs with neighbors and friends who need them urgently, so that limited drug resources can play their best role. At present, Huaibei City is actively coordinating with relevant pharmaceutical enterprises to increase the production and supply of drugs, and make every effort to protect the public’s drug needs.
Fourth, strengthen the protection of key populations
The role of primary medical and health institutions as the “bottom of the net” and family doctors as the “gatekeepers” is to strengthen health management and medical services for high-risk groups such as the elderly, pregnant women and children with underlying diseases, and to conduct graded health monitoring according to different risk levels. Effectively ensure basic medical services. The elderly institutions, welfare institutions continue to implement closed management.
V. Effective personal protection
The general public should further enhance their awareness of protection, minimize gathering activities, comply with the basic code of conduct for citizens’ epidemic prevention such as diligent hand washing, scientific wearing of masks, one meter line, and frequent ventilation, consciously implement daily protective measures for individuals and families, and effectively be the first person responsible for their own health. When you feel unwell, especially when you have symptoms such as fever, weakness, dry cough, sore throat, etc., it is best to rest and observe at home, and delay going out. Elderly people, pregnant women, infants and children should go to non-essential public places as little as possible.
Complete vaccination as soon as possible
The new coronavirus vaccine is effective in preventing and reducing serious illnesses, so the general public is urged to get vaccinated as soon as possible, especially for those over 60 years old who are eligible. In the near future, the focus will be on boosting immunization for people aged 60-79 years old, the first dose of vaccination for people aged 80 years or older, and continuing to implement vaccination services for the elderly, such as green channel vaccination in fixed clinics, door-to-door vaccination and mobile vaccination vans, to further consolidate the immune barrier for the population.
